This paper presents an iterative planning framework for multi-agent systems with hybrid state spaces. The framework uses transition systems to mathematically represent planning …
Fast moving but power hungry unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can recharge on slow- moving unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to cooperatively perform tasks over wide areas …
Waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) or e-waste describes end-of-life electronic products that are discarded. Due to their toxic and negative impacts to humans' …
Taking fast action, and effectively utilizing the available resources, are important when conducting time-critical surveillance missions. In addition, the potential complexity of the …
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are capable of surveying expansive areas, but their operational range is constrained by limited battery capacity. The deployment of mobile …
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are fast, agile, and capable of covering large areas quickly but are constrained by their limited fuel capacities. In contrast, Unmanned Ground …
Fast-paced but power-hungry Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) may collaborate with slow- paced Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) acting as mobile recharging depots to perform …
